Biography
Palladio Brienza was a public official of the Republic of Venice, but he was paid by Rodrigo Borgia to bear false witness against Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a member of the Assassin Order. In 1481, while fleeing from the Palazzo della Seta with a thief named Rosa, Ezio took his chance to assassinate Brienza, stabbing him in the back with his hidden blades before rejoining Rosa in fleeing Venetian guards.
